have invented u, new and useful improrement in Washing Machines; nad I d) htby leclerc tntttlie following is n. full, clear, and exact. description-thereof,'which'willeneble other.` skilled ii the uit to n eine :md-use thel same, reference being` had to fthe accompanying drawings, forming ypmt of this ipecii ation, ii hgh- Figure 1 s :t top orplan view of my'improvetl wushingmaehine, the top or cover teing r: i: ed Figure IZ'is :i vertical longitudine] section of the same,-'tnkenthrough the li fo :c z lig. fl. Similar letters .of reference indicate like parts. My invention -hns for itsobject to fuuislx un' nn proved n'shing lmnehn'e zimplo in con lrln tien, easily operated, ind which n'ill do its work quickly und thoroughly, and without injur; to the fabric on 1 it consists in the combination of the h ent or hell-crank lavc'rswith the artns of the beater or plunger i x l. v kth the box or tub; in theeombinntion of thesel'tadjusting'eheek-bonrd nfith theA beater' or plunger and r th ,he box er tub; and in the comb'in'otio'n of'on ordinnrjxi'ush or rubbing-board nith'tha xii-msi. o" the he ner the whole being constructed and arranged es hereinxfter more fully described'.

'.lhe loner ends o thi levers are pivoted te-the tub by plaeing'the rod d thnt connects the lower ends ot said levers in .-1. j'roov :for-.ned in the :mrgle :it the higher end of the bottom board a". The angles of the levers are pia-mod to 'ha ends of the i11i-ms c' of the benter-C.hyth'elconnccting-rod di, which passes through the ends oi the 'nid :1l-liz.

Theupper connecting-rod d serves ns' o handlc'fr operating the beater or plunger. E is an ordinary wasting er rubbingbonrd, which is, securely und pertmmentl)i attached to tho upper` edges of the beater-arms c@ so :.s to be in convenient position', when the heiter is drownA beck,` for being used to mi) any parte or :ipeteo4 he clothes' that may belmore then ordinarily soiled. F inn self-adjusting cheek-boord, which is placed in the lex or tub. in front of the beater C, and the levier edge of n'hieh is b'evellod oil` to correspond with thoinelincticn of the face of the beater C. .The boord F works up and donn along the end of the tub nud adjusts itself t.: the orffount of clothes being washed, 'working :itu higher elevation with a. liu-ger quantity-than it does with a snr-.aller quentity, no that the pressurepl thebeater upon the clothes may' always be uniform. It will. he ebservef` et when being use-v the bent lei'ers D and :arms c ot' the beater C :tet :is tergglejoints; that is to eey, riti. t constantly increasing' potranno the heute: is feree'd farther and farther forward.

G is the cover of the rox or tub A,

which, when closed down, converts the machine into u. c'onvenientrwork-tahle, and which, whoturned buck into horizontal position, and properly supported, forms u. convenient tnble for sorting the clothes to be v. fished.

What I claim as nem-and desire te secure by Letters Potent,v is- 1. The eoxnbirmtion'et` the bent onheil-crank 'lovers D with the orma e of :he beate: anni with the hex otub A, to which their lower ends are pivotcd, substantially ns herein shown and describe-l, and for the' puru-rse set forth. l
